Wyatt Johnston's recent form presents a curious case: while he's netted four goals in his last five games, his per-minute production has dipped 20% despite a substantial increase in ice time. After a strong initial burst, his contributions have quietly waned over the last three contests, suggesting he's scoring on a higher percentage of shots but isn't consistently generating the elite offensive impact his expanded role demands. He's a player to monitor closely to see if he can regain that dominant efficiency.
